Can I just tell you - I am OBSESSED with making these flowers! I have read many tutorials - like this one at SplitCoastStampers on how to make these out of paper. So the other day, I was flipping through my piles (many, many piles) of magazines and catalogs, and I had an idea! Why not recycle these catalog pages and turn them into cute paper flowers? No need to buy any fancy paper, these turn out just as cute or even cuter! For a tutorial on how to roll the paper, clickHERE. She actually uses "glue spots", I just used regular Elmer's glue. It's super easy!

I used a Pottery Barn catalog. I chose pages that had a lot of pink.

I LOVE how the text shows on this one!

I am officially in love with these. And now I have an excuse to keep all my old magazines! My hubby will be THRILLED.

There are endless possibilities with color, size, text, etc. You could even use old books with no pictures. Hmm..I think I'll have to try that next :)

OMG when I saw these profiled on Tip Junkie I just had to check them out! They really look cool and I love your magazine version. Got me so excited to try them out with my new Polymerized Cloth Technique and with a little tweaking to the technique it worked beautifully! Thank you so much for the inspiration!
